RE: What is "The Gospel?" Is Something Missing?

I can't help but feel that the state has done more to sculpt the modern church than we'd like to admit.

Sadly all too true.
Good to hear from you, Matt!
I'm continuing to slog along on my Kingdom clarification project; ten articles now indexed on my Library Kingdom page!

I just listened to a very encouraging conversation this morning between a couple of postmillenialists; maybe you'd enjoy it?:

Now if I can just bring them the rest of the way to an understanding of the church's real position and authority in the world...

How are things progressing down under?

Blessings, Bro!

Some wins, some losses. Some allies out of the blue, and some friends falling by the wayside. There's a lot of righteous anger on both sides; which is a recipe for civil war. Really hope that's not the goal here.

"Really hope that's not the goal here."

I fear that may well be their goal; you know what Jesus said:

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." - John 10:10

Nevertheless, I'll pray for a better outcome for you. If God's people would only start acting according to the reality of Jesus ruling as King, and stop paying the state any reverence, we could have an abundant life...

I struggle with anger at the state, but need to remind myself what James says:

"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God."

And so I keep writing about God's people taking on their Kingdom role...

Cheers, friend!
